"Already having played quite a number of games with a similar set-up on Switch I’m sort of down the middle with Deru. Both in terms of the aesthetics and ambient music it is a subdued and even beautiful experience, which is a plus. The puzzles are certainly varied and some even may seem overwhelming at first as you try to figure out what you’ll need to do to get through them. Even once you have your plan in place execution is critical and this isn’t set up to be a cake walk by any means. However, in terms of overall creativity, diversity, and requiring outside of the box thinking to push you it isn’t quite in the same league as something like Death Squared, so it’s quite good but not at the top of its category."

About
Deru: The Art of Cooperation is a co-op puzzle game built for two players working together. Each level requires split second coordination as you manipulate light and shadow to solve abstract visually striking challenges. The gameplay emphasizes timing and communication with puzzles that demand synchronized actions and creative problem solving. Single player and multiplayer modes let you tackle obstacles alone or with a partner though the couch co op setup really shines when playing side by side. The game’s vibrant minimalist art style pops on all platforms including PC Switch and Mac. While the solo mode offers a solid challenge the co op experience feels most rewarding when players bounce ideas off each other in real time. Linux support adds to its accessibility but the real appeal lies in its straightforward yet clever level design. Short sessions keep things fresh making it easy to pick up and play with friends or family.
